The new me

Okay so not new. But there are a few things "new" about me. Lately, I've been getting super teary-eyed when I get scolded (or not even scolded, just sternly told "no"). Usually, I'll say, I want that, or maybe I'm doing something I shouldn't be....then Mommy (or usually Daddy) will say, "stop doing that" or "no" and I run to the hallway and sit in front of Cameron's room and I do a pouty thing, with some tears and sniffling. My eyes get filled with tears. But after a good hug (from Mommy) it's all better. For some reason, even if it's Mommy who scolded, I still want Mom to hug me.

And lately, I'm not that into feeding myself. Only if it's really good stuff, like ice cream....but usually at meals, Mommy has to feed me the last half of my meal. I do drink all my milk though, and for some reason, I like Mommy to count when I'm drinking. I can count up to 15 now, for reals. It's pretty cool. And I know all my colors, well, you know the basic ones.

School has been good, but it's really taking up a lot of my train time. If I could play trains all day, I would. And it's really awful that there are no trains at school! I'm pretty well behaved at school. Thank goodness I don't have to be potty trained (did someone say train?). I am far from interested. But Mommy has to remember to bring a big pack of diapers. The songs are really good at school. I'm learning some hand movements to go along with the songs, but I still have trouble.

My favorite fruit is watermelon, but I'll eat almost any fruit. I can eat lots all by myself. Mom recently gave me black apricots and white apricots, those are pretty good. I'm okay with the figs we have in the backyard, but I usually only eat one at a time. Oh, and I like choy choy. Usually spinach is a good one. I can eat a lot of choy choy. And steak.

I only like to wear knit clothes. So for pants, I rarely wear shorts because I like them to go down. Same goes for sleeves. I do wear short sleeves during the day, and sometimes I will wear pj shorts for playtime. I will only sleep with long pants and long sleeves...Mom has tried to get me to wear short pjs, but I refuse, even on the hottest nights. I won't wear jeans or khaki pants (unless I wear my long pj pants underneath). Aren't I a strange kid? And knit pants (not fleece) are hard to find for a kid over 2. Luckily, I can still wear the 2t stuff....phew. What will I do next year? Hopefully, I'll get over this knit thing.
